Impact of cell source on human cornea reconstructed by tissue engineering.

abstract：:Gamma-interferon (G-IFN) exhibits antiproliferative effects, inhibits collagen synthesis by fibroblasts, and may help to regulate the turnover of fibrous tissue. Fibroblasts from Tenon's capsule are cellular components that contribute to unsuccessful glaucoma filtration surgery. Therefore, the authors studied the effe...

abstract：PURPOSE:Mice rendered hypoglycemic by a null mutation in the glucagon receptor gene Gcgr display late-onset retinal degeneration and loss of retinal sensitivity. Acute hyperglycemia induced by dextrose ingestion does not restore their retinal function, which is consistent with irreversible loss of vision. The goal of t...
